Gruden Quiet on Louisville Speculation
TAMPA, Fla. — ESPN announcer and former Tampa Bay Bucs coach Jon Gruden, who was attending Thursday night’s Cincinnati-South Florida game, declined comment about media reports linking him to college and NFL coaching positions.
“I’m just here to support the Bulls,” Gruden told FanHouse.
Gruden has been identified as the top choice at Louisville if current coach Steve Kragthorpe is fired after the season, the NFL Network reported.
Gruden’s brother, Jay, played quarterback for the Cardinals from 1985 to 1988.
Last week, Louisville Sports Buzz also reported Kragthorpe would be fired or notified he wasn’t returning after UL’s game with Southern Miss on Oct. 10. However, UL senior associate athletic director Kenny Klein told FanHouse that report was “absolutely not true.”
